Hey y’all! My name is Joe and I’m currently a 5^th years master student in the Allen School. Although I’ve been a TA for ~15 quarters (all for the intro series here at UW), this is my first time instructing which I’m super excited about! I’m Washington born and raised, originally from the Sammamish / Issaquah area for those familiar, currently calling Ballard home and surviving the commute it entails.

I was priviledged enough to have discovered Computer Science my Junior year of high school (IB kids represent), and ever since then I’ve been hooked. Lately, I’ve been most interested - unsurprisingly - in CS education and finding ways to distill the crazy buzzwords tossed around (machine learning, AI, computer vision, etc.) into easier to understand concepts for those mostly / entirely unfamiliar with CS (which is a particularly useful skill when trying to explain my HW assignments to my family of non-STEM majors). Outside of school, the last few summers I’ve interned for AWS and I’m returning as a full-time SWE there next fall. If you want to chat about interviewing for industry or anything else, I’m happy to give my two cents!

Unrelated to CS, I’ve spent a decent amount of time studying theatrical lighting design and have actually designed for a few Dance shows and School of Drama performances here at the UW. I also have been known to play a video game or two whenever I’m not drowning in assignments.

I’m super excited to get to know all of you, and apologies in advance for any mishaps that come along with my first quarter lecturing!

Hey I’m Eric, studying Computer Science. I have a passion in not only learning about different technologies in niches like biology and aerospace but also about society. I enjoy talking to people, listening to what they have to say, and discussing with them. Reach out if you want to talk about anything!

Hey everyone! I’m Nicole, and I am a sophomore majoring in CS. I am from Sammamish, WA. I previously taught 121 the past couple of quarters, and I am excited to be TAing 123 this quarter! Besides CS, I like music (play piano and explore music on Spotify), staying active (gym, climb, hike), and listening to music while taking long nature walks. Looking forward to a great quarter with you all!🤩🤩
